Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This is a remedy judgment following an earlier liability decision. Sitting at Cambridge on 3 March 2025, Employment Judge Tynan determined the award payable to the Claimant, Mr D Blewitt, against the Respondent, Mach Recruitment Limited. The Claimant appeared in person, supported by Ms R Cottingham; the Respondent did not attend and was not represented.

The Tribunal made a basic award of £2,569.00 for unfair dismissal, compensation of £71,060.58 for past financial losses arising from discrimination, interest of £6,930.84 on those past losses, £20,000.00 for injury to feelings, and £7,145.21 interest on the injury to feelings award, calculated under the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996. The total award before grossing up was £134,632.66, and £187,585.43 after grossing up.

Written reasons were not provided with this judgment, reasons having been given orally at the hearing. The document provided is limited to the remedy judgment and does not record the substantive findings on liability.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
